Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP134397)
Betty O'Grady, a 65-year-old white female, was last seen on October 14, 1983, at 8:30 PM by her husband in Pacific Grove, California. She has been missing for over 40 years, and her current age would be 106 years old. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, as limited information is available about the case.

Betty is described as having blonde or strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. She stood at 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed approximately 165 pounds at the time of her disappearance. The case was recently added to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) on December 5, 2024, indicating renewed interest in solving this long-standing mystery.

Pacific Grove, where Betty went missing, is located in Monterey County, California. The area is not on tribal land, and Betty's primary residence was also not on tribal land. Despite the passage of time, law enforcement agencies continue to seek information about Betty O'Grady's whereabouts and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

As with many cold cases, the lack of recent information makes it challenging to determine what might have happened to Betty O'Grady. The creation of a NamUs profile decades after her disappearance suggests that investigators hope to generate new leads or information that could help resolve this case. Anyone with information about Betty O'Grady's disappearance or current whereabouts is encouraged to contact the appropriate authorities.
